Summary
Arc Raiders, an extraction shooter developed by Embark Studios, has been scheduled for release on 30th October this year, ahead of which it will undergo extensive bug testing, polishing and performance enhancement, according to executive producer Aleksander Grøndal.
The game is set in a future Earth taken over by malevolent robots, leaving the remaining human ‘raiders’ to scavenge for resources on the surface while building a home underground.
Players will be able to choose whether to collaborate or compete with each other.
Grøndal has highlighted the need to cater to players new to the genre, stating that the company is working on “an even better onboarding experience for players who come in new to this genre.”
The game was announced at the Geoff Keighley-hosted Summer Game Fest, and Grøndal stated that rehearsals for the game had gone well and that the reveal had exceeded the studio’s expectations.
